CARDINAL gibbons. in his address in
tho Basilica Of Santa Maria, spoke kindly
ofthe non-Catholics Of the United States
"our separated brethren" The cardi-
nal is a man Of broad mind and gentle
heart, and he knows that it is impossible
for all men, even ior all worshippers Of
the one God, to think alike. In this
country where, as the cardinal said, every.

PECULIAR MARRIAGE.
A Wealthy Invalid Youth Weds His Nurse

NEw York, March 25.-The indignation
OF the Rev. DR.. Vandewater at DR.. Full
toms performance OF the marriage cere-
mony between the one.armed, invalid,
l9.year-old boy, Howard Knapp, and his
31,.year-old nurse, Mrs Whyte, was some
what cooled to-day by the publication OF a
letter in which DR.. Fulton states that he
did not marry young Knapp until his
mother had given him authority to do so.
DR.. Fulton says: II married the young
man because by 90 doing l was helping
him to obey God and act the part Of q
man OF honor" To reporter who saw
him this evening Dr.. Fulton said: "When
young Knapp first came to me and stated
that be wanted me to marry him to yo-
man go much his senior I said to him: :
Dear boy. I can not do 1t without the con-
the reasons that actuated him in bis wish
to marry Mrs. iWhyte, and l must say
they were highly creditable to him.
u told Mrs. Knapp that the young man
earnestly believed that he was under OBJ
legations to Mrs. Whyte which could only
be Offset by their union, and that could
not conacientiously refuse to perform the
ceremony. The couple brought witnesses
later in the day, and they we're made
one." SE W. o. - u - =,
Dr.. Fulton refused to say what obliga-
lions young Knapp was placed under
which necessitated the marriage. The
family are very wealthy and the marriage
is the sensation of the day.
To-day young Howard packed his
trunks at the home OF his parents, the
Albert Hotel, in University Place, this
city, where he had been living, and drove
OF with his bride to the railroad station.
Mr.. Knapp, ST., had gone on before to At
lantic City, and it was thought at the ho.
tel that Howard and his vile would loin
him there. 55l.7 - 80

THE COST PER CAPITA
OF Keeping the Inmates of State
institutions.

Secretary Hart, of the state board of
corrections and charities, has completed
table showing the exact cost per capita,
by comparison, in each of the eight state
institutions, for the nine months ending
April 80, 1887. The idea that greater
number of persons can be fed at a
cheaper Individual cost than a less
number, Secretary Hart says is exploded.
He bases this proposition on the fact
that the cost per capita for keeping the
900 inmates of the st. Peter asylum was
S34.55, while that for the twenty-three
inmates of the state public school was
S31.40, and that for the 22S inmates of
the reform school was $3.50. The in
mates in the first case are mostly adults,
however, and in the others children.
The table shows that the inmates of the
state prison enjoy less of lux
uries, such as butter and milk.
eggs and fruit than any other
institution, but their figures for meat,
vegetables and breadstuffs are higher.
The total average of inmates for the
eight institutions was 2.724, and the
total average cost per capita, S32.6 6.
They compare as follows: st. Peter
asylum, cost pea capita, S34.55; Roches-
ter asylum, S31.33; school for deaf,
S353.33; school for blind. SSH; school
for ufeeble-minded, S31.O3; state public
school, S31.40; state reform school,
$50. SO, and state prison. So. D1,
